[18:36] <cnuulhu> Is there a go-to VNC (or other remote desktop protocol) that integrates best with MATE? 
[18:36] <cnuulhu> VNC server*
[18:36] <cnuulhu> Use case is for my father, who's been using Linux day-to-day for his work since before I was born, but never really picked up the troubleshooting skills; so want to be able to control his screen when needed. 
[18:57] <alkisg> Check out https://epoptes.org
[19:01] <cnuulhu> Woah! Might be overkill for my purposes but really cool to know about.
[19:12] <coconut> cnuulhu, i don't use mate currently, but gnome connections might be an easy one?
[19:14] <cnuulhu> Looking for the server, not the client, but yes asking if there's anything that's similarly standard on the server side. 
[19:15] <cnuulhu> So choosing between tightvnc, x11vnc, and xrdp, but can't find any good comparison between them. 
[19:18] <coconut> cnuulhu, i haven't used remote desktop a lot under linux do can't really advise.... cnuulhu, i would ask this in #ubuntu , you'll get twice the response.
[19:18] <coconut> *so
[19:21] <cnuulhu> Many thanks. 
[19:21] <cnuulhu> Shall do. That on Libera as well? 
[19:21] <coconut> yeah -> #ubuntu
[19:38] <alkisg> cnuulhu: it needs 1 MB RAM, so it's the lightest there is
[19:38] <alkisg> It only invokes the vnc when needed
[19:38] <alkisg> And, your father doesn't need port forwarding; only you need it
[19:39] <alkisg> and he also doesn't need a static ip or a dyndns one
[19:39] <cnuulhu> Oh, dang, that's really nifty.
[19:40] <cnuulhu> Not needing port forwarding is a big plus.
[19:41] <alkisg> xrdp would give you a separate session, not the one your father works on
[19:42] <alkisg> x11vnc is used by epoptes, it's very nice but not automated; epoptes automates it
[19:42] <alkisg> tightvnc is fine too; x11vnc is lighter though
[19:46] <cnuulhu> Aaand you gave me the comparison I was looking for, in addition to a great recommendation. Thanks!
